The Panamanian pianist Danilo P rez has occupied the piano chair in
tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter's acclaimed quartet since 2001.
'Panama 500' finds him with two different groups of musicians who
perform Perez's own compositions that celebrate the 500th
anniversary of the historic crossing, in 1513, of the Panama
isthmus by explorer Vasco Nunez de Balboa.
Perez finds musical interpretation and inspiration for his
compositions in two groups of players - one featuring bassist John
Patitucci and drummer Brian Blade, fellow musicians in Shorter's
quartet, with contributions from percussionist Rogerio Boccato and
cellist Sachi Patitucci. The other group features drummer Adam
Cruz, bassist Ben Street, violinist Alex Hargreaves and
percussionist Roman Diaz. Both groups are musical allies and
stunning collaborators in Danilo's vision.
The music is a multi-cultural mix of jazz, Latin American folk,
classical music and blues with Middle Eastern and Asian sounds in
the mix. In addition three tracks include music and narration from
the Guna indigenous people of Panama.
Personnel: Danilo Perez (piano, cowbell), John Patitucci
(bass), Brian Blade (drums), Rogerio Boccato (percussion), Sachi
Patitucci (cello), Adam Cruz (drums), Ben Street (bass), Alex
Hargreaves (violin), Roman Diaz (percussion), Milagros Blades
(repicador, caja, pujador), Ricaurte Villareal (caja, guiro) and
others.
